How to Make a Cat Brush

If you aren’t ready to make the jump and purchase a cat brush to help keep your pet’s hair straight, then making your own might be a good idea. This is a good way to make sure that a cat hair brush is right for your cat and a good way to find the length that fits your pet the most without having to test out several products.

Although it is highly recommended that you purchase a cat brush because of the many other features you get, it is a good idea to try out a cat brush that you can make from household materials first, so that you can figure out the right size and if a brush is right for you.

Making a Cat Brush From Household Materials

There are a few ways you can use materials that you can easily find within your home to create your own cat brush. The easiest way, however, is to find a hair brush that is laying around your house to use on your cat. Although this isn’t the best option, it is one of the easiest and most risk-free ways as you most often always have a hair brush laying around and you can adjust it to fit your pet.

A way to adjust your hair brush to be used as a cat hair brush is to make sure that the edges aren’t sharp. This is to make sure that the skin of your pet isn’t harmed if you ever happen to go in too deep. It is also recommended that you take off a few needles, as cat’s hair is a bit more complex and having too many needles will cause you to not be able to get all the tangles out and gather all the excess hair.

Another option is to use a comb for your brushing needs, as it is often long enough to be used on long haired cats and adjustable enough to use on short haired cats as well. It is also important to mention that you should adding a padding of some sort to the bottom of your comb to make sure that your pet’s skin doesn’t get affected by the sharp edges on the bottom of the comb.

Conclusion

It is important that you brush your pet everyday because it is an important factor in keeping your pet at the best health that you can keep it at. If price is a big problem for you, then trying out a cat brush that you can easily make or find at home is a good idea because you’ll be able to get a taste of what a cheap, makeshift brush can do for you. Once you are satisfied and know how great a cat brush is, then you can move on to one with features, quality, and value, so that your brushing experience can become better and easier. Also, the price for these brushes aren’t that expensive as well, so we highly recommend that you move as soon as possible.
